The crux of the upgrades includes the integration of deep learning technology, an advanced form of machine learning, that will allow Intercept X to be the most powerful and sophisticated endpoint security system on the market.

New Deep Learning Malware Detection

During training, the model identifies important attributes automatically, resulting in a more accurate decision boundary between malware and benign files. With the new deep learning model, we are able to perform a signatureless pre-execution evaluation of any executable file and determine if it is malware, potentially unwanted software, or a legitimate application.

We are excited to provide our Sophos customers this upgrade and protect many more educational institutions, government agencies, and businesses in the future.
